Even today, Hawaiian Pidgin retains some influences from these languages. Hawaiian Pidgin was created mainly to provide communication and facilitate cooperation between the foreign labourers and the English-speaking Americans in order to do business on the plantations. This was the origin of Hawaiian Pidgin, which was used and is still used by many Hawaiian and non-Hawaiian people who live there. Overtime, a new pidgin language developed from all of the different language backgrounds which became many of the children's first language. As there were eventually more immigrant families who brought their children to the plantations, these children learned the language from their parents as well as English at school. Hawaiian Pidgin has also been influenced to a lesser degree by Spanish spoken by Puerto Rican settlers in Hawaiʻi.
The article Japanese loanwords in Hawaii lists some of those words originally from Japanese. As people of other backgrounds were brought in to work on the plantations, Hawaiian Pidgin acquired even more words from languages such as Japanese, Ilocano, Okinawan and Korean. Hawaiian Pidgin has been influenced by many different languages, including Portuguese, Hawaiian, American English, and Cantonese. Because such sugarcane plantations often hired workers from many different countries, a common language was needed in order for the plantation workers to communicate effectively with each other and their supervisors. It supplanted, and was influenced by, the existing pidgin that Native Hawaiians already used on plantations and elsewhere in Hawaiʻi. Hawaiian Pidgin originated on sugarcane plantations in 1835 as a form of communication used between Hawaiian speaking Native Hawaiian residents, English speaking residents, and foreign immigrants. It did, however, evolve from various real pidgins spoken as common languages between ethnic groups in Hawaiʻi.Īlthough not completely mutually intelligible with Standard American English, Hawaiian Pidgin retains a higher degree of mutual intelligibility with it than other English-based creoles, such as Jamaican Patois, in part due to its relatively recent emergence and the tendency for many of its speakers to mix Pidgin with Standard English.
Hawaiian Pidgin is not a pidgin, but rather a full-fledged, nativized and demographically stable creole language. However, Hawaiian Pidgin is still thought of as lower status than the Hawaiian and English languages. Hawaiian Pidgin was first recognized as a language by the U.S. In the Hawaiian language, it is called ʻōlelo paʻi ʻai – "pounding-taro language". Although English and Hawaiian are the two official languages of the state of Hawaiʻi, Hawaiian Pidgin is spoken by many Hawaiʻian residents in everyday conversation and is often used in advertising targeted toward locals in Hawaiʻi. In addition, about 100,000 native speakers of Hawaiian Pidgin speakers reside in the continental United States outside of the state of Hawaiʻi: on the West Coast, Las Vegas, and Orlando. An estimated 600,000 residents of Hawaiʻi speak Hawaiian Pidgin and 400,000 speak it as a second language. Hawaiian Pidgin (alternately, Hawaiʻi Creole English or HCE, known locally as Pidgin) is an English-based creole language spoken in Hawaiʻi.
